Notes:
- Randy Orton made quite the entrance in his hometown of St. Louis with his sling supporting his arm, reminding all of us that he is out three more months due to injury from a motorcycle accident. Some people don’t like Randy Orton. I like him because he makes a great heal and he has great abs. :)
The usual business of a heel is to due some trash talking. Randy delivered. He said that Raw was an absolute joke without him. He named some names like Beth Phoenix, Santino Marella, and CM Punk and implying that they were the people making WWE Raw one big joke. CM Punk walks into the ring to a big pop from audience and reminds Randy that while he isn’t the conventional champion, at least he isn’t the pathetic one standing in the middle of the ring with a sling around his arm.
Randy leaves and JBL enters the ring yelling at Punk for blah blah blah….I think you know JBL well enough to know what he is pissed about.
Kane and Batista roll out and a little brawl breaks out maybe as a preview of the battle royal that would take place later on.
Overall, Raw kicked of to an exciting start. It was nice to see Randy Orton after a long hiatus and I am sorry that we won’t be seeing him for awhile. On the other hand, I loved seeing more of CM Punk!!! :)
- What is up with Charlie Haas? The poor guy can’t even get his own gimmick, he has to borrow from Carlito and John Cena to get onto TV. I don’t know where this angle is going. I feel bad for this guy. He comes out pretending to be somebody else and then gets his but kicked. I have a feeling that he will be released soon, since the creative team cannot use him in a resourceful way.
- I thought that Randy Orton bitch slapping Cody Rhodes was hysterically funny!!! The WWE superstars have been doing a lot of bitch slapping recently.
- It’s great to see Jamie Noble on television more often. He has an angle with Layla and it seems that it might take more to impress her, but he is winning her over. I like this angle and I hope to see more of Jamie Noble. How can anyone not like him? He is so lovable.
- I love Honk-a-Meter. More Honk-a-meter please!!! Santino tried to get back at Randy Orton. So he put up a Honk-a-Meter and compared himself to the Honky Tonk Man. It was so random that it was funny.
- Rey Mysterio comes back and tries to wop some giant ass with the 619 around the ring post. He is successful with the 619, but eventually gets his ass wopped by Kane. I don’t know what these guys are thinking when facing Kane. It’s FREAKING KANE for God sakes! I’d be running the other way.
- Of course, last but not least – HBK and the Ayatollah of Rock n’ Rolla end the show with a contract signing. This segment was very intense and I liked it. At the same time I am wondering when this rivalry will end, because it has dragged on for too long. They do some smack talking in the middle of the ring. They sign the contract. Shawn Michaels has a McCain moment and says that he will tell his children someday that daddy looked evil right in the face and kicked his ass…well I’m paraphrasing but I pretty sure it went something like that. Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho look like their about to have a little Smackdown until Lance Cade runs in and wants a piece of the sexy boy. HBK fights with Lance Cade which ends with Lance getting a kick in the head. (Poor Lance!) Chris Jericho is no where to be seen. Raw goes off the air.
